I need an email address for the city of Reitano, Sicily--a town just south of Santo Stefano Di Camastra. I wrote to the Santo Stefano, and they told me to write to City of Reitano, but didn't give a contact address.

Thanks

That's Santo Stefano di Camastra, Sicily.

Santo Stefano di Camastra. The small town is acutally Reitano.

I recently sent an email to santo stefano--an email address given by Carmine and the email bounced back. Maybe the email is wrong or has changed. So, I'm going to write a letter. Should I try writing a physical letter now?--and if so how much should I expect to pay. How does that all work? Thank you...

To Carmine--Thank you so much. Do I have to join Ancestry.com in order to view the family tree you referred to?

To johnnyonthespot and bette, thanks. I had already found both of those records. The 1920 census states that she entered the US in 1908--this cannot be her because she came in 1909 with her two kids, was deported,(because her husband didn't come to pick them up), went back to sicily, left her childr...

Sorry, I miss spelled the first time. Her maiden name was Castagna. Her married name was Presti. After being deported, she abandoned her two children--Edward DOB 1905 and Concetta-my grandmother, born in 1907. The kids came to the US on their own to live with their dad in NYC in 1920. I believe that...

According to our records, which is from oral tradition, Stefana Castagna was born 19 March 1878 in St. Stefano Di Camastra, Messina, Sicily.
